This is the first book to present the evolution of Jackson's work.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the course of her career, Jackson has closely investigated specific histories related to cities, lands, and individuals in the United States, with the purpose of revealing how systemic racism and civil rights advocacy have informed America's approach to housing, education, transportation, voter disenfranchisement, police brutality, migration, and agriculture. Inspired by Josef Albers's research on the relativity of color, she employs image layering and the effects of light and perception toward illuminating underrecognized patterns of activism, resistance, oppression, and societal advances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers an opportunity to look comprehensively at overarching themes and developments in her process by gathering bodies of work in a variety of media created over time and in different locations. Jackson's engaging and nuanced approach to US history situates her as one of the most relevant artists practicing today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiranda Lash \u003c\/b\u003eis the Ellen Bruss Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobin D.
